Salmonella
Salmonella infection causes typhoid ( effecting small intestines). It is recently in news because it has been caused by peanut butter in cookies in America and even reported in countries on different continents.
The topic of human effecting diseases has remained an important topic under which the MCQs have been asked in prelims. It is very difficult for everyone to study the whole parasitology and human diseases in detail. The best approach is to be selective and make notes on such diseases which are being the issue of concern for the UNESCO, or in news for some reasons. Therefore, influenza and typhoid which are again in news, should be in the recent list.

FDI in Publishing Industry in India
The government is reviewing the policy of allowing the FDI in Publishing business. However, here the issue is not the question of the allowing or restraining. Here, the issue is that the Foreign companies have not made the investment to the level to which they could have done. It was a controversial policy decision when it was implemented in 2000. However, it has not brought in the money to the level as it was epxected to enter in the field of Publishing business in India. As a teacher, we have enjoyed when we bought the desired titles of Foundation Publication at an afforbable prizes. However, the foreign publishers have not shown the interest as they were expected to show. Now, the government is in its review mode. This issue is also an important issue in coming days if some extra facilities are provided to the foreign publishers.
Resource to be watched and studies:

It is a highly sensitive issue. The Centre is trying to give powers to the State government to introduce the sub-categorisations of SC in their state. The Apex court and High courts have already declared as anti-constitution move. It has brought in limelight the fundamental right 16(4) and Presidential powers under the Article 341.
The above issue, though sensitive and controversial, yet it may emerge in question papers. The suggestive articles 16(4) and 341 which is a presidential power may become important both for Prelims and Mains of 2009.

O P Bhatt: Chairman of SBI
O P Bhatt is the Chairman of the State Bank of India.
View:
The motive of this post is only to collect the name of the heads of the leading institutions of India. There is proposal to merge all the State Banks into a single identity. Last year, State Bank of Saurashtra had already been merged. The merge will make State Bank a big financial institution of India. This year itself it has already opened 11111 branches. Hence, this is already an institution of eminence.
Secondly, there is now trend of asking question on capital market also. The economic section should be further divided into Core Economic Issues and Capital and Business world. On the whole, from 2004 onwards I have counted more than fifteen people or identities related to capital market and Business world had been asked. Some times, there were simple questions like which was the oldest Stock market in world. Similarly, Kiran Majumdar of Biocon and Indra Noogy have appeared twice in the Prelims itself during this period along. Hence, it make sense to collect their names.
